VOLUME 7, NUMBER 126
Saturday, June 6, 2026
Good morning, Philomath.
Earlier this week, I visited Dave and Sarah Ehlers’s tree farm in Hoskins and put together a feature story about how they’ve transformed that property over the past 25 years. Be sure to check out the beautiful photos shot by Andy Cripe. The Class of 2026 participated yesterday in the Parade of Graduates and I shot photos. The graduation ceremony is this morning at Clemens Field, so look for coverage on the news site later today. The OSP Log reports on two fatal crashes. The City Council will meet Monday with capital projects on the agenda. The fire district’s board will also meet Monday at the fire station. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
